A Dubai Sole Establishment is a business structure owned and operated by a single individual for an approved commercial, professional, or other permitted economic activity. It can be suitable for entrepreneurs who want to operate their own business under a single-owner structure. The formation process generally involves selecting the appropriate business activity and legal form, reserving a trade name, obtaining the required approvals, arranging business premises where applicable, and obtaining the relevant Dubai economic licence.
Our Dubai Sole Establishment Formation service helps entrepreneurs manage the key procedures involved in establishing their business. This includes assistance with document preparation, trade-name and licence procedures, application submission, authority coordination, and other formation requirements. The exact documents and approvals depend on the selected activity and the applicant's circumstances, particularly for regulated or professional activities.
